This episode of Momentum Moments begins a new series on spiritual growth and perseverance in the Christian life: why believers drift after a breakthrough, why so many were handed a list of religious duties but never discipled, and how grace and spiritual discipline work together. It also looks at what spiritual formation actually is, why the first weeks of any new habit are the hardest, and how a believer can stay spiritually awake once life is good.
